WE ARE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF N.M.

Are the citizens of New Martinsville not worthy of working for the community in which they reside? Recently, the former Street Commissioner Gary Lemons retired, and passed this position on to his cousin Gary Willy. Under City Policy, the hiring of relatives in the same department is prohibited, and furthermore, it states that any and all department heads are required to live within city limits. Mr. Willy lives in Tyler County, and is provided with a city vehicle for his own personal transportation. This is nothing more than a family owned and operated business, because the entire street department is related, and not one of them reside within our community. Wake up people and help put an end to these abuses which we the citizens have to pay for!
